Dr. Cappelletti is probably one of the best physicians that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and that has treated me. The office staff is friendly and efficient. Overall great experience.

Dr Cappelleta is a skilled hand surgeon. He listened carefully to my complaints/concerns of pain and discomfort and offered to repair the site and grant relief. He exceeded my expectations and I am super happy to experience his skills and professionalism. My now healed incision site appears so neat that it’s hard to tell that there was an interruption of the site which looks like a thin line mark. I appreciate Dr Cappelleti he is very caring.

Dr. Cappelleti was efficient with his time, explained everything well, and made me feel like I was in trusted hands (no pun intended). Additionally, the PT/OT staff were phenomenal and facilitated my progress throughout recovery.

To start my experience off I was greeted kindly by the whole front desk. One person in the front especially stood out to me, the gentleman with the twists in his hair, he is super fabulous and had many words of encouragement for me in a difficult time not even related to my injury. Followed by the excellent care and concern from the doctor I saw who put a cast on and even changed it when I said it smelled and it was not even 3 weeks

We had a clear and honest discussion of the procedure. Dr. Cappelleti communicated what was done during the procedure. He was reassuring and encouraging. All went well. Today he removed my bandage and I got my hand back. Very thankful.

Since the first day I went in for a consult, Dr. Cappelleti answered all my questions and took his time explaining everything the surgery would entail from start to end. Post-op, he was extremely kind and caring throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Dr. Cappelleti for the very best go-to surgeon for hands and/or upper extremities!
